hey i got some coilovers from ebay the cheap ones just 4 now but im trying to install them myself but i been wondering whats up with the plastic rings and the metal ones??? where do they go can someone post some pics

 

Is this something along the lines of what you're dealing with?

If it is, you put two of the rubber o-rings on each shock (I'm not sure what size o-ring to use), and put one of the threaded sleeves over the o-rings (they should be tight) with the threaded portion on top. Then, put the springs on the perch that the threaded sleeves form, and re-assemble everything else like stock (you'll probably want to cut your dust sheilds and possibly your bump stops.)

 

What's the blue plastic cap for? A lot of ebay coilovers look nice but turn me off with that plastic part!

 

to tell you the truth i bought some springs the zenn for my civic http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ZENN-...em250215723664
and installed them and my car is looking very sick and nice and have not had any problems with bouncing and good handling. They are nice and stiff so you don't go bouncing all over the place like those other civics where you can't even drive higher than 65mph because you'll be bouncing all over. So they worked out great and had them on my car for two years now and still look good and performs well.
